CNN broke the news on Sunday of a guilty verdict in a rape case in Steubenville, Ohio by lamenting that the "promising" lives of the rapists had been ruined, but spent very little time focusing on how the 16-year-old victim would have to live with what was done to her.

ill say one thing, Putting these young rapist in jail will do only one thing, make them worse.
Either castrate them and release, or send them to intense therapy (including mandatory chemical castration and monitoring)
The prison system is not set up to rehabilitate anymore, its training ground to create worse criminals. The community there as a whole needs to take a long hard look at itself and figure out what went wrong to create a culture where a young girl would even have to face such atrocities.

I agree Benrl! But the bleeding hearts are dead against chemical castration! I remember an incident about 28 years ago when they wanted to introduce chemical castration, (I believe it was in SC) and all hell broke loose over the thought of it!
I myself think it would drastically reduce the amounts of rapes and pedophilia incidents that happen in this country IF.....We could have a justice system that was fair and based upon laws and not set up to protect the elite. By elite, I mean those in the government, the wealthy, Hollywood, (Lyndsey Lohan anyone?) and most especially, people who can only do one thing.................play a game!
So do you have any actual proof that all liberals agree with CNN's grieving with the rapists, or are you just grasping at straws?

So the war on women is actually coming from the Liberals instead of the Republicans. Had this been from Fox news it would be all anyone talked about for weeks.
Commit the crime you serve the time... I bet they weren't sobbing when they raped her.

And yet I look and the dude who hacked some ipad account info is getting three and a half years... BS, your right the systems so f----.
How can someone who is a non-violent perpetrator guilty of taking information from an electronic network get more time than someone who raped a young girl.
Oh right corporate interest outweigh public welfare now days.edit on 19-3-2013 by benrl because: (no reason given)

Did you post the right video, becuase I didn't see any grieving for the rapists in that one?
Saying that they messed their lives up sounds pretty accurate to me.
Those punks are not going to prison, they're going to juvie. Huge difference.

so i think the media is hiring idiots who have no understanding of the law you are NEVER suposed to release minors names let alone rape victims
You can blame CNN all you want for its reporters feeling sorry for the now convicted rapists in the ongoing case in Steubenville, Ohio, but MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN all just outed a 16-year-rape victim to millions. Seeking to report on an emotional case for all that it's worth, apparently, all three networks ran this unedited clip from the courtroom video feed, in which one of the defendants responds to Sunday's verdict by apologizing to the Jane Doe victim by name:
to be fair fox screwed up 10000000 times worse in this matter they stated the minor rape victims name on live tv she has already received two death threats msnbc did the same thing despicable on all counts though
